You were right, and the river crossing after-party went on longer than I thought, and I didn't make it back to Sharpsburg until aftery you and Craig left.

Is was really good seeing you, Harry and Craig. That two-thirds of a limber you encountered at the Roulette Farm is a reproduction from, I believe, the Centennial Days. There was a second one in there that had wheels of 1902 vintage, though that one was taken to another park to have parts salvaged. Always nice to see you. Mannie Brian,

And a good day for a hike! Regarding the 5th MD monument, Robert Moore (Cenantua) offered some more background information on the marker entry (http://www.hmdb.org/marker.asp?marker=17622). The disk disappeared in the 1980s. And there is some confusion as to what the disk depicted. Great to finally meet you in person, Brian. And a good day for a hike!
